There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be.

Kivo (YC S13) - London

We're building Github for documents and have started by creating the best way to store, share and get feedback on presentations. We're a team of three based in Soho, London. You'll be technical hire #2 and have a huge amount of responsibility and ownership of the product. We're looking for an excellent front-end developer. You love Javascript, but are comfortable picking up other languages, and obsess over building the best possible user experience. Customer feedback is our guiding light so working closely with users in shaping Kivo should excite you.

Our back end is Scala / Play and we're in the process of moving to Angular, so bonus points for experience with that.

Equity grants will be well above market for first hires and salary will be competitive. We want new partners, not just employees, so we are looking for people who are as driven to succeed as we are.

We're hiring for people who want to help lead the team as we continue to grow, so you should be excited to shape the development culture of a fast growing start-up.

We also know there's more to life than work. You get gym membership for gyms across London and an extremely sociable team to work with. We love poker, eating out, tennis, and nights at the pub.

If this sounds exciting, ping us (leo@kivo.com) and we'd love to buy you lunch and have a chat.

* Stylect (http://stylectapp.com) *

We're hiring a Fulltime Python Developer in London (REMOTE is okay).

We're a small, fun team that's trying to change how people shop on mobile. We're backed by a top VC in London and were featured by Apple as a 'best new app' in over a hundred countries and are getting some incredible traction. Our team has previously worked for Rocket Internet, Dafiti, Techstars and Pixelmator. We've got strong domain expertise in the area and believe that there's a massive opportunity in the space.

You'll be working on core projects on day 1 and once you're familiar with the source, expect to be leading key projects. You'll be challenged constantly as we keep pushing the boundaries of what a 'simple' app can do (algorithms, image analysis etc..).

We're also quite open about our numbers and our plans, so please drop us a line (hadi@stylectapp.com) and lets chat. Coffee is on us :).

P.S: We're willing to be flexible for STRONG candidates because our biggest priority is to build an amazing team.
